1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

contextBazi Bushen capsule (BZBS) has anti-ageing properties and is effective in enhancing memory.

objectiveTo find evidence supporting the mechanisms and biomarkers by which BZBS functions. MATERIALS AND

methodsMale C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups: normal, ageing, β-nicotinamide mononucleotide capsule (NMN), BZBS low-dose (LD-BZ) and BZBS high-dose (HD-BZ). The last four groups were subcutaneously injected with d-galactose (d-gal, 100 mg/kg/d) to induce the ageing process. At the same time, the LD-BZ, HD-BZ and NMN groups were intragastrically injected with BZBS (1 and 2 g/kg/d) and NMN (100 mg/kg/d) for treatment, respectively. After 60 days, the changes in overall ageing status, brain neuron morphology, expression of p16

resultsCompared with the mice in the ageing group, the HD-BZ mice exhibited obvious improvements in strength, endurance, motor coordination, cognitive function and neuron injury. The results showed a decrease in p16

conclusionsBZBS improves cognitive deficits via inhibition of cellular senescence and microglia activation. This study provides experimental evidence for the wide application of BZBS in clinical practice for cognitive deficits.
